High Lane Handstrip

Service Description

A skilled technique used to remove the dead coat from the dog; this form of grooming preserves the coats natural texture and colour. Suitable for most wire-haired breeds, this is a manual process and due to the labour-intensive nature, a lot of groomers no longer offer this service. At The Hound & Co Marple, Stockport we enjoy hand stripping and will be happy to offer a consultation to check the condition of your dog’s coat to see whether it is suitable for hand stripping. For most breeds we do not offer a bath as this can sometimes cause an irritation which can lead to a skin infection; if you require a bath this can be booked for a few days later at an additional cost, This will be advised at your initial consultation.
